In 1931, physicists Knoll and Ruska unveiled the first electron microscope, revolutionizing science by using magnetic lenses ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley physicists' new technique offers detailed images of the small molecules and cell structures that ...

Overcoming the resolution limit in a light microscope of around half a wavelength of light (about 250 nanometers) is one of the most significant developments in optics. Due to the wave nature of light ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Expansion microscopy, a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique in which samples are expanded up to ~8000 times (after 20-fold expansion) their original volume, places high demands on the ...

It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes. Even though this processing has come a long way, there ...

Recently developed descanned versions of the oblique light-sheet microscope promise to enable high-frame rate volumetric imaging in a variety of convenient preparations. The efficiency of these ...
